In Search of Adventure

Inspired by 3 word wednesday: beacon, grieve, kindred.

The dawn breaks, spilling soft gray light
We’ve left Southampton’s hectic docks
And now sail under cliffs so white
The Needles' constant, steadfast rocks

The lighthouse shines at ocean’s side
A beacon casting out its beam
It flings its message far and wide
And sends me to follow my dream

But tell my kindred not to grieve
For though I journey far away
Deep in my heart I do believe
That I will return home one day

    This has a really good feel to it, a good vibe.
    Not sure what happened to your first comment. There was nothing in the spam folder. Glad you were able to post. This is a good read.

    Makes me want to go on an adventure too! There's a timeless quality about this poem.
